New beer garden under construction at Henderson Avenue pub

Construction on Henderson Avenue is attracting some eyeballs, but it’s not necessarily the road construction. The Irish pub, The Skellig, is building a new beer garden expected to open by the end of the summer.

The business, which opened in 2015, announced the project through a Facebook post that said, “Excuse the mess! Stay tuned…” The message and design renderings were featured on a black sign fixed to a nearby fence.

The Dallas Observer reported that the 1,800-square-foot beer garden will include a 600-square-foot bar, wooden community tables and a fire pit. A 25-foot oak tree was also planted in the outdoor space at 2409 N. Henderson Ave.

“We already have a patio,” operations manager Charles Reiss told the Observer. “This is going to feel very different, more casual, than the term patio implies.”
